I have been having lots of fun playing with filters lately. It isn't something I can do with fashion blog posts as those need to look fairly realistic to show off the clothes. So it is fun to get dressed up in blood and dirt and play the "dead body" in the scene. This was for a contest but somehow the post I got on the rules didn't include needing four people in the shot -- each on one of the scripted grave markers (see photo below).
Still I enjoyed the process and even became part of the storyline in the role play sim. I came back from getting some real life coffee to find a lengthy discussion going on about reporting my body to the police. I had to smile. I left myself "dead" and did some photo processing while I waited for the folks to disperse. Then I continued on with my shoot.
This is one of the shots I took a few days later with friends. Many filters were involved and I am not too sure what they all were at this point but there was a blending of two layers in the end, one a stylized black and white and one the original colored version. This is my favorite of the entries but probably not the most popular of the bunch.
